• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Anyone riding in Europe now with all the ash after the volcano?

I saw some of the pictures in the local news, it looks pretty bad. Or it could be the news finding the really bad places to show, which is what they tend to do.
 
sorry for the divert, but lived under etna for a while and always had to sweep the veranda of ash. it made for the best sunrises over the sea looking east. sorry for the off topic
 
It's ok Robert, we don't have to worry about some enigmatic force yelling at us :)

Sounds like you have some experience with these things. The number of uk people visiting the forum has been lower than normal too.

Don't worry, we're not buried under a mountain of ash! It's just that we've hit the first pocket of good weather this year, so everyone's out riding.

There's also been a two week school holiday, so some folks have taken the opportunity to go on vacation (and get stranded abroad because there are no flights back to the UK...)

The most visible effect of the volcano thing here is that it's given us some spectacular sunsets.

Nothing around the south east of England either.

I never would have guessed your location from your screen name. :)

It sounds like things are not quite as bad as the news reports make out, but it is still affecting transportation in a major way.
 
Haven´t seen any ash in Sweden. Just cancelled airtraffic for some days, but i don´t jump that high anyway!
